Weekly Update - 21 August, 2023
Added 2023-08-21 02:01:00 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I had a pretty good week for progress this time around, even in spite of taking a couple of days off to rest. Right now, the word count is at 37,000, which is 8,000 up from last week. I'm also very close to done with that I had outlined for Chapter Ten. As mentioned, I'll be adding an additional couple of scenes to the end of that which originally would have gone in the epilogue, but effectively I am nearly done with the original content planned for Chapter Ten! As you can infer from the word count, it isn't nearly as long as some of the other chapters, but that's because there's a bit less variation, and it essentially right now covers only two scenes, one for setup and another for the centerpiece of the chapter: the audience before Zeus.
I think I'm satisfied with how those scenes are, so I'm not looking to pad them out or anything at this stage. This is very exciting, because it means the end of FoA is closer at hand than I'd thought! A pretty wild thought, and also a bit terrifying.
My plan is, then, to add those other scenes to the end of Chapter Ten, publish that, and then write a short epilogue that will also transition into the sequel, for every ending but the (aptly-named, if I do say so myself) no-sequel ending. (That will get its own epilogue, of course).
And then... it will be time for edits and overhauls, heh.
Anyway, I expect that by the end of this month, those of you who get the BIP will at least have the complete version of the original Chapter Ten, without additions, and maybe even some outline for the additions. I hope you're all looking forward to reading it. :)
